Wicken Candles presents these Candle Wick Trimming Scissors. They are an essential part of burning candles correctly. ALWAYS trim the candle wick to at least 1/4 each time before burning. Long or uneven wicks can cause the candle to burn uneven. By trimming the wick you will get an even burn & a brighter flame. Also ensure that the first burn of a larger candle burns for more than 2 hours which enables the candle to build a wax pool on the first burn. This will stop the candle from tunnelling. Tunnelling will stop the candle from burning correctly. These scissors will improve your candle burner experience! Gold Candle Wick Trimmer Correct Burning Scissors
